Return of the Minimalist Threads #15

Ahh... a fresh thread, new beginnings. So wonderful, let's make this a great one again!

As the name suggests, I'm taking requests, reply to this post if you specifically want me to do one.

However, I ask that you include the name of the character(s) you want and where they are in the image (if multiple present) and source material for our good friend the Archive anon's sake.

Next, I reserve the right to not take a request, but I will explain why I don't if that happens and you can try again with a different image if you so desire.

Finally, I expect patience from you if I do take a request. I am only one man (with quite a bit of free time every fairly often, but still), and I like to do my own choice of images too, so the back-catalog is rather flexible.
Also, please don't bump. That will not do anything but annoy.

Oh, if the old thread is gone and/or you don't know what I can do, I set up a deviantArt gallery of all the stuff I've done (you can refer to specific ones if you want yours done a certain way (shading, all flat, gradients, and whatnot)), which you can find here:

>http://carionto.deviantart.com/gallery/60621742/Minimalisms

I think that's all from me on this kind of stuff. Let's make this one as productive as the last if not more so.

Here's the archive!

https://mega.nz/#!X8JRBTya!bFuJn5A1YP9FS2yIOWXjOEfajbwP6P7Vp6Fx19DlAog

Wow, we have a record for newly created entries, with 82 being added; all of them made last thread! This brings the total count over the 500 mark, at 512.

There is a new naming convention for ease of archival and search. If you can provide in your requests and or submissions:

Character Name - Series or Source Material

I haven't even come close to cleaning up the entire archive with these names; lack of time or understanding of who the character is has hampered this. But I'll keep plugging away at renaming old entries.

And a friendly reminder to post your submissions as a high resolution transparent for both archival and critique purposes!

Standby for important thread announcement.

Everyone's Attention Please:

Starting this thread, there is something new called MiniComp!

>What is MiniComp?
MiniComp, or Minimalize and Compare, is the process of everyone minimalizing the same image, and then comparing results.

>Who should take the request?
Everyone, both new and experienced, is requested to minimalize the same image.

>Why?
One of the main benefits of this thread over other places where minimalizations are created is that you are among your peers. Works are often criticized in order to improve people’s works; to learn new skills, and to see how some of the more experienced users do things.

No matter what your experience; if you’re trying this for the first time, or you’ve been with us for years, everyone is asked to participate. Newer users can post, receive critique, and see how the veterans did the same thing they did. And experienced users can more easily help newer folks since everyone has worked on the same piece. Or pick up subtle differences from other advanced users.

I know for some users, the simplicity of the requested image may turn you off, but please give it a try! It’s important for the health of these threads we foster more users to try minimalism, and it can only help with your participation!

If you've come to this thread a few weeks, it's okay! Please give this a try. No matter how or when you've joined us, they'll always be plenty of posters here willing to give advice, so give this image a shot!

It should also be said, this ISN'T a competition. It is for the purposes of learning and critique.

This thread’s MiniComp is Alpha Hatsuseno from Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō

It is requested that the output png should be transparent, at 6x the resolution of the original image. In this case being 3000x4260. This will make comparisons easier. Linking the svg file may be helpful as well.

Make sure to quote this post when you post your minimalized version, so it'll be easier for everyone to see submissions.

Have fun!

I know some users said they'd like to try something more challenging; I'll probably use candidate 5 from the last thread for that. But lets all start out with the MiniComp that's posted already. Maybe after we get rolling and see how this one does I'll post the more challenging one for advanced users to try. But it is critical that you guys minimalize the one that's already posted. It will be a huge benefit to newer users; and you may see one of the veterans do something a way you haven't considered.

I would really like to know what do you think of this editor.ncoll-central.com uf you get ideas on how to improve it or fund any bugs please tell me :)

All right, guess I'll get this ball rolling.

This is a pure flat colors version. I tend to alter the colors a bit to not let separate parts blend together too much. I usually follow the lines fairly closely, but simplify and smooth them out if there's just too much "ripples" or bumps.

Shaded version.

And the .svg file:

>https://mega.nz/#!jdMyDBCD!UBJc7q2FgWIGQAcUSpvK6blg2W6Vf-B1gyy2kXi8u-0

Each part is on it's own layer (you don't have to draw the lines that are above or over others. This really reduces the amount of work you need to do and prevents transparent seams between them. Gets a bit tricky with parts that are both over and under another, but for those I zoom in and align the lines just over one another, barely a pixel width when zoomed out.

I guess it's okay for making minimalism with monochrome background wallapers, but it lacks a color-picker tool, which would make it simple to make papes like the one in OP.
Personally, I have zero use for it (so my opinion is rather skewed), but I could, just maybe, see how someone who can't be bothered to even simply open Paint (let alone a proper image modification or vectoring program) and make a pape in that.

(pic is what I've been working on for almost two weeks now. Soon The Angel shall grace us with his awesome, overly detailed, teetering-on-the-edge-of-the-concept-of-minimalism glory.)

>>1972779
Yes, that slipped by.
Inkscape has this quirk where if the objects overlap only ever so slightly and the background doesn't peak through in the project, something just is calculated wrong or some kind of programming oversight and it exports it wrongly. I'll keep that in mind so as to not have to go back and fix such mistakes.

Draw shapes in an order from what appears to be on top to bottom. Every new shape can then be tucked under with "send to back" option. Doing this means that your shapes will never have gaps between them. Never try to line up shapes by eye or by trying to leave as little room as possible.

You program should also have an option to snap the edge of shapes and the screen. Doing this means that shapes meet a solid edge instead of hovering. You should pick images that don't meet each edge, but where they do it should be flat.

If you can't do fingers and complex hair you should work on way simpler images until you get a solid hold of the pen tool and tracing. My first image was half a face on the bottom of the screen with no body, and only two shapes.

While working you should have your source image in a separate layer under your vector, and should be able to see at all times how close your work is lining up. Every few shapes flicker visibility of the two layers to see what your image looks like alone, or what it looks like compared to the original. Look at your work as a whole during and after you are working on it.

Things like hair overlapping areas it shouldn't and miss-colors should really stand out if you LOOK at the drawing.

>Character Name - Series or Source Material

I guess Sweden is an okay anime, not very exciting, but it has that calming feel to it. Nice winter scenes. But im more engaged by the long running series United Kingdom. Sure, it went through some name changes and merged with a few other pretty sweet and exotic shows, but the drama of the current season is what gets me tuning in every week. I hear rumors Scotland might get a spin-off, test if its hip with the youngsters, maybe rekindle popularity with a good dose of nostalgia.

(and could i get both of these separately as minimalism, please?

I'm not sure I understand - what objects does the .svg contain (imported jpgs, paths you drew, etc.) because a vector file shouldn't be that massive (my largest one's only about 3MB, and most of that is imported reference images)

Describe the exact process of what you did, if you can (you know, File->New, File->Import, draw some stuff, File->Export PNG Image - Image Size: Width and Height, are these numbers so massive by chance? If so, then that's the problem, if not then I can't imagine what's the cause.

Over the next 10 days I'll be posting an Akari Akaza from Yuri Yuri minimalism every day. (that Konosuba group pic retroactively became a lie)

Why?

I've been going through that giant pape collection floating around in the catalog somewhere. Went through the Yuri yuri folder and the pics, gifs and memes were endearing and cute and I ended up with 10 Akari images. Never seen any episodes, don't know anything, simply assumptions.

And then my mind came up with a "story-thing" that connects all these images. It's nonsense born in less than 20 minutes. So up next is Part 1.

Akari had a crush, and on Valentine's Day she decided to show her affection with the beloved-by-all gift of chocolate.

Her crush was happy to receive it and said they had a gift for Akari too, but they could only give it in the evening.

Thrilled, Akari fervently waited and, when the time came, greeted her crush in the designated location.

Her crush was carrying a big box, set it down, and encouraged Akari to open it. She did and was surprised.

>>1974213

She liked getting rid of jerks and meanie-heads up so much, that she became the go-to girl for dealing with these creeps and weirdos.

But it wasn't the same as that first time. Sure it felt nice having swift vengeance and helping out her friends, but, once the early excitement and adrenaline rush became the norm, getting hired to do it for cash started to make Akari feel a bit hollow.

To take her mind off of things (and to lay low from the cops) Akari started working as a maid at a local cafe.

She had a fun time, she even developed a little act for the customers.

Her crush couldn't be seen with her anymore due to criminal investigations, and this upset Akari from time to time.

But one day, near closing time, a lone customer whispered to Akari that she could get back to her normal life, if she accepted a small gift from the stranger.

Now, I get the aesthetic idea, but the execution is garbage. it looks like you used one of those auto-path generators or auto-tracers or whatever they're called and it's just bad. the lines breaking where they shouldn't, random leftovers everywhere, imprecise shapes due to I'm guessing a somewhat unclear or small source image, not to mention the pixelation and no anti-aliasing (which you don't get if you make it a proper vector - see literally everything above to get what I'm saying)
The more I look at it the more I want to do it properly myself. This is just... ugh

Hi guys, I'm going to be doing some minimalist cards for this years /ss/, and I while I can find edits for most of the characters I'm going to be doing, I can't seem to find any for Kanata from Sora No Woto, so I'd like to request this one.

>>1975333
Losing the grey gives a weird cut-out on Nia where she's blocked by Simon's leg, which I'm not a fan of, and your line thickness on the big C thing seems pretty arbitrary and ugly.

Otherwise, though, infinite improvement over the autotrace garbage.

It was a magical wand that transformed her into a Magical Girl Witch.

With these newfound powers, Akari erased all evidence of her illegal acts and made people forget those ever happened.

She could finally reunite with her crush and live a joyful life.

There was a catch, however. Her life was being drained by the wand and through the powers she used.

There was only one logical choice for Akari.

Don't sell yourself short, that's better than my first attempt.

Couple of things: the elbows look sharp, joints usually are rounded. According to the source the emblem would also have rounded out lines (not where it breaks due to crumpling cloth though)

The necktie overlaps the neck a bit.
And it feels like there are a few places with just a couple of extra nodes here and there. Some in the hair, some in the sleeves, maybe one or two elsewhere.

Otherwise, well done. I would've also drawn the gold buttons and differentiated the trumpet parts like how they are in the source, but I have a tendency to add detail rather than, you know, minimalise

>>1975711
Indeed, that hand is something else. If you could link the .ai or .svg (or whichever vector format you use) I could look and see what can be done.

>>1975797
>I would've also drawn the gold buttons and differentiated the trumpet parts like how they are in the source, but I have a tendency to add detail rather than, you know, minimalise
I was thinking of doing that, but I decided that since I was going to be using this as a base for a card (made with layered construction paper) I decided to keep it pretty minimal.
Since there's going to be errors and imperfections in my cutting I might leave it as is for now, maybe clean it up as a thing to do on a lazy Sunday. I'll definitely keep the joints in mind on any future stuff I do. I was surprised how easy illustrator is to work with actually, it's pretty straight forward.

The immortal Akari lived out a semi-normal life, but over the centuries, seeing all her loved ones fade away, she grew distant from the world.

But Akari knew she couldn't just sulk in darkness forever, there were so many games to play, so many places to visit, so many civilizations to conquer - and she had all the time in the world.

Technology had advanced enough to make her robotic features look human again, people were more accepting of her once more and she regained her love for life bit by bit.

Over time, the world bowed down to the Great Empress Akari, uniter of humanity and benevolent goddess of the people, and Earth entered a Golden Age like never before.

The End

>Okay, this won't be a normal post, but I'm running out of coping mechanisms, so please bear with me.

Fuck I can't believe it's only been two days since I last sat down and checked this place, feels like months since that thing happened and I had to absorb all the news to understand shit, can't imagine how'd I feel if I actually lived there and was a part of the thing.

>>1974262
I thought I would leave Akari be, just ignore it, but I want the distraction, so let's recap the "plot":

>>1974264
>>1974414
>>1974528
High school romance plot. Super cliched, overly emotional, trying too hard to pull your heart strings, but positive feels are nice even when they're being shoved down your throat, if you just accept them.
>>1974716
Twist worthy of all the dumb face-palms. Now it's a rom-com type drama thing. Sure, why not? The series was getting stale with all the mutual romance and no conflict anyway.
>>1974954
>>1975086
Surprise dark twist! Now this I did not see, honest, even though I wrote it, it was a thing of the moment. It's so dumb I love it still.
>>1975275
Psyche, back to comedy-drama-whatever thing, but not retconning anything. Because reasons.
>>1975536
Ha! it's now a magical girl show. Still insisting on keeping all the dark shit, though now it's kinda-sorta retconned, but stays with the character. Implied. All the murders never come up again. Kinda the point, but a disappointing non-resolution regardless.
>>1975767
Fuckin' what is this even? Shit stopped making sense when the Moustache villain appeared, why you still questioning anything, bro?
>>1975926
A big, grand, tie-up-all-loose-ends "happy" ending crap. We can assume she was depressed and did some really dark stuff, but it's never explored. lame. who wrote this bull? At least it's now over.

>>1975869
yeah, needs a decryption key, m8.

Okay, I tried my best. had to redraw the hand entirely since you had too many nodes to work with (really mostly everywhere, also, don't know if it's caused by opening .ai in inkscape, but having all objects on one layer feels clumsy to me)
The source image is also not the greatest to work off of - it feels hand-drawn and rough, which makes vectoring require more guess-work so I just looked at my hand in that position at roughly the same angle and adjusted from there.

>>1976772
Well, compared to doing a full vector (which can take upwards of dozens of hours, though that Sanguinius one did approach 11 hours of work) I find doing minimalisms fairly relaxing during basically most of my free time, plus the more of them I do the more I like them. And I guess the fact that I've made quite a few in the 3 months since I discovered this place has made it sort of a habit now.

Those colors are pretty far off from the source material.

Fair enough. But I like to change colors to suit my preference quite drastically (read: saturated, high contrast, bright) when it's not a request from here (also especially deviant when I'm not familiar with the source material, like, at all, so aesthetics trump source for me)

Its similar but Illustrator is really different. I mean overall its just the feel of it. I remember years ago there being a tutorial for it on illustrator as flat minimalist design but it was taken down. Kind of sad how there is not much for visual types like me.

>>1978734
I agree I mean I am looking around ironically there is zero YouTube tutorials on this. I am not joking I tried looking up minimalism illustrator and nothing could be found. It would be great just to know the basics or to cover it in simple though detail to get it nailed down. Hopefully someone can do simplistic version of an anime character and upload it for us all to see.

This should definitely go in the op of the next thread, fantastic stuff!

>>1978987
why dont you use layers instead of sending objects back and forth?, it feels a bit clumsy to me :/
>>1976296
Forgot about this but, no, I think it's because of inkscape, Usually I have a massive crap ton of layers, inside layers, inside layers, so i guess thats why :P

>>1979206
It takes 2 clicks to send a new object to the back. Making a new layer for every shape is a really ham-fisted.
> Usually I have a massive crap ton of layers, inside layers, inside layers
And, that is a perfect example of why you should not do that. It's like putting every file on your computer in a different folder.

>>1979209
When you are working with more complicated images to move little details back and forth, obviously, you never make a new layer for every single object, but instead put for example her body into a layer, then the details in a separate one, so you can also move them all at once.
Also, when I said layers inside layers, i counted the objects or layouts illustrator makes as a layer, so...

>>1979216
I have never had the need or desire to move a shapes positioning more than once, or to move multiple shapes at the same time.

>>1979219
i had actually, but fair enough i guess.
Maybe im used to layers because of photoshop, sice i began there then moved into illustrator without a single tutorial of any kind.
Or maybe i rely too heavily on the shape creator tool i dunno :/

yasuri shichika from katanagatari.
This seems rather simple to do, but jeez, this was hard af. I literally had to do hands and feet from scratch, since the source material was complete crap, aswell as removing some noodles and fixing some inconsistencies with the character overall so i can get a nicer result, not perfect tho, im still finding inconsistencies here and there
have a look at the source material: http://art.ngfiles.com/images/161000/161517_freezewire_yasuri-shichika.png

Oh no, not at all. I actually like high contrast, just in that instance it looks off, especially the weird hand shading.

Ugh, I just noticed the problems with the legs. Decided not to use set clip for them and just eyeball the lines to not have to deal with injscape peaking the underlying shape's color and this is the result.

version of this with shading is a bit... crappy, Im still trying to improve, so I forced myself to do this one, is a bit sketchy it was difficult to make good shading
I still can't decide wich color pallete should i go with, maybe you could give me a hand, I mind i like the original colors(left), have good armony between them, but its not really true colors, the one in the middle is my favorite tho, it is'nt true color either, is more orange-ish than the source material, The one in the right has the right colors, tho it doesnt really appeal to me. yellow has always been the hardest color to work with for me.
Should I upload all three of them on a transparent background?, or just one of them with a .AI file?
>>1979957
I still cant see any problem with those legs <.<
>>1980188
Yea, I could'nt recognize her, maybe because of the colors, or maybe because I've not watched long enough to get to the second opening, I dont really remember, A long time since i had this on hold, maybe i should re-take it
Also, where are her wings in this image? she should have wings right? eh, doesnt matter anyway

>Also, please don't bump. That will not do anything but annoy.
>>1979872
For a first time, Its better than what I did, (seriously tho, mine was pure bs, bleeding colors and jagged edges everywhere, mismatched colors,bad source material, a complete mess)
Eh, are you using Illustrator tho? I think you saw them already but these two guys
>>1979897
>>1978987
are hella helpful, should watch 'em both,
but to be more specific, i see in this wallpaper a lot of blovky stuff everywhere, that's why I asked what program you use, since Illustrator makes easier to get rid from thos blocky edges
Dont rely too heavily on lines, since It may turn to become a vector, without eyes, for exaple, you could get rid of the lines in the hand arm and book and still be fine,

>>1980371
>got characters limit <.<
So where I was? oh ,ye
As mentioned before thousands of times, Try yo use the least ammount of noodles possible, so you can get rid of unnecesary curves here and there, tho, I barely see those in here.
Try to look up to make your final vector to look good on its own, like if it was its own thing without a source material, that way you can make things that are'nt really appealing in the minimalism style a bit more appealing, or make it nicer overall, at the end of the day, you'll only see the vector so you want to make it look good on its own, so you want to make the viewer understand it all in one shot, for example his forehead and hair needs a bit of tweaking,
I mind it's also a bit tricky to advice since I'm still strugglin to do exactly that with my wallpapers too, since I rely heavily on the source material, thing that is a bit harming for you at the end,
Just a little piece of advice from someone who's been in this not for too long, so take whatever I say with a grain of salt
>>1979957
oh, also

It's not as bad as you make it sound, but there are still some problems.

Apart from the stuff I point out in pic related, just work on some that YOU want and have an idea of WHAT you want in the end.

All of this stuff irons out with practice, don't dwell too long on trying to fix one image, simply recognize what mistakes you see, remember to do better next time, and move on. (ignore filename, just reflexive name there)

Okay, but if you ever want a resized (downsized anyway) image, it's a very simple process (as long as the aspect ratio is the same, which it is here - 16:9) Simply open the image in Paint or other basic image modification program - click "Image" on the menu -> resize/stretch/skew -> switch to pixels and make sure the keep aspect ratio box is checked -> enter the size you want and voila. Remeber to Save as, not simply save if you don't want to lose the original image.

>>1981511
Ah I see. As you can tell I have no image modification experience. Will definitely remember this!

I have a fairly large request, if anyone's willing to take it on. While I'm afraid that this might be breaking the "incredibly intricate designs" stipulation in the OP, I would like to request a vector version of this entire image of the Danganronpa 1 cast. I'm a fan of the image and how eye-catching it is as a whole, but it feels a little complicated for my taste in wallpapers, so I'd like to have the details cut down a few orders of magnitude. The vector thread seemed like the best place to request something like this.

My apologies in advance if this does indeed break OP's regulations for requests.

I've been working on this .Gif with minimalism style, what do you think? I was thinking about doing more complex images but it's very difficult for me.

>>1981602
It seems really interesting but in my opinion, only his hair and collar moving but nothing else, especially without the fur of the head suit thing moving, seems somewhat odd. Maybe give that some slight movement?

Keep in mind that I've never even tried to make a minimalistic design before so I might have no idea what I'm talking about.

>>1981616
Well, I did what i could with the source image (pic related) only his hair and collar was moving

Making it was quite straight foward, The only issue was his hair and shading there, it was quite low quality so I scraped his hair shading.
What I did was to trace in Illustrator every frame of the .Gif,(obviously I only traced sadaharu once) then exported it as a .PSD file and put the frames together there

(Sauce Image resolution was too small for 4chan so I uploaded it here: https://my.mixtape.moe/rbhqns.gif)

Pretty nice. Could you upload a transparent version for our friendly Archive Anon?

However, I can't help but notice an excess amount of nodes, especially in the legs, which makes them look choppy and weird. Same goes for the hat and belt as the most glaring examples.

I redrew the medal using 2 elipses, clipping the upper shine bit (4 nodes) and the 2 middle ones are each made with just 2 nodes. The leg uses only smooth nodes for the contour.

Vectoring allows you to improve an image where the artist might have rushed or overlooked something. Don't be a trace-slave. Hope this helps.

Might look better if you don't use black lines, maybe a darker shade of orange/red somewhere along the line.

thats cool m8

Appreciate your advice, I wanted to experiment with the black lines to see if it looked nice

That is both low-res and poorly done. Strokes are never a good idea.

Hey guys, I'd really love it if somebody could make a minimalist style wallpaper with pic related. Don't worry about the existing background of it, I would give a transparent if I had it.

I'm just starting out, currently doing a personal Zinogre (by Diego Fonteriz) one but having trouble with some of the fur and a few shadows.
Here's one of Ilya I did real quick, I'll try and do >>1982270 and when exporting is the interlaced option important or can I just leave it unchecked?

If it was, I am disappoint. That's just a rushed mess.

Apparently it just determines how the image is loaded: interlace loads it by quality steps (low to high) normal just loads the whole thing line by line. Found it here.

I'm just completely unfamiliar with illustrator, thus I'm bad at using it. I only like to make wallpapers. How do I make it higher res?
Agreed on the poorly done though.

Follow the tutorial posted here:>>1979897

And go to the vector section and watch his tutorials on doing regular vectors - he goes over the pen tool.
